WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The way events are moving it seems increasingly probable that before the war is ‘over we shall be fully in it. We are in the first stages of skirmishing in’ the North- Adantie. War with Japan is a probability, “FE as Secretafy Knox is publicly suggesting. Public sentiment is changing rapidly. By what steps _ active war will come, or how soon, * 'I"have no idea. But we are surTounded by a raging fire and I see little chance of our escaping it without war. Even though I may be wrong in this judgment, the chances are “enough in favor or war to make "+ it imperative that we ask ourselves what we ‘are really to fight for. ‘The defeat of aggressor powers wn. ho Serve “a 0 are defeated, w e fesfon al Joey ate need to be considering now. i is the time to consider it.

This is why the fight of Wendell Willkie in the Republican Party is one of the most important events now taking pldce.

“THESE ARE THE questions that ought to be decided now before we plunge. If we are not determined to exert ourselves to prevent future aggression, ‘it will profit us little to exert ourselves to pre-| vent present aggression. We shall be only chaining ourselves: to a treadmill of war that will get us newhere. It is important to us that the British Empire be saved. - But the job will not be completed merely by fishing it out because the British Empire alone cannot reorganize and lead the world.
